Leicester City goalkeeper Daniel Iversen aims to see action against MK Dons in the Carabao Cup.

Recapturing and rebuilding the momentum that saw Brendan Rodgers' men go on a run of three straight victories and record five wins from six across all competitions is a sentiment shared throughout the dressing room, he revealed.

“I'm really excited," the Danish shot-stopper told LCFC TV ahead of the game. “It's been a few long weeks to be fair. We got two weeks off and it was nice to get some time off but with that run we were on in the Premier League, it was really good, so it was a little bit sad to stop the season there. But it's good to be with the boys.

“We still need to be fit at home so we did a programme the coaches give us, but it's good to see the family and get a clean head again and be ready to go again now.

“We have to start from tomorrow (Tuesday). We cannot wait a week or two to get that form again. Hopefully we do that. But it'll be a hard game against a good team."

Iversen warns MK Dons have some winning momentum behind them, while the tie marks the Foxes' first game since the World Cup break.

The 25-year-old added: “They've got the fitness, the tempo and they won at the weekend, so that could give something to them also, but I'm 100 per cent sure that if we play our game, we can get the tempo in and the speed of our game in.

“I think it will be quite a tough game against MK Dons but I think it will be a different game from Stockport. They will want the ball more. When I played in League 1, they wanted the ball and had some decent players.

“Hopefully we win it in the first 90 minutes this time, that would be the best for me!"
